We’ve had fantastic weather lately in the Sunapee Region, so if you’re planning on making a trip up, now is the time! If you happen to pass through the town of New London you may notice some strange happenings….we’ve been overtaken by the Gnu’s! Money raised from the auction of these fabulous Gnu’s will go to the creation of a new community based arts and culture program run by the Kearsarge Community Center.

April sure went by fast and I think things are really starting to change. Beyond the fact that sales are up 38% +/- for this time period, it really seems like there is more general confidence out there. When running into people the first thing out of their mouth is no longer “hey did you see xyz company closed, this person went bankrupt, etc”. Provided we don’t have any more economic curve balls, I feel like we’re slowly on our way out of this downturn!

So I typically try to keep my blog fairly real estate focused but this is probably one of the coolest video’s I’ve ever seen. As close to flying as it gets!

Whoa- it seems like forever since I have run the monthly sales numbers and have had even a remotely positive uptick in the number of transactions! Well as you will see sales in the Sunapee Region are up 70% compared to the same time last year. We are still a bit below past years, but it is always nice to hear some positive news!

With all these stimulus packages being rolled out and all of the constant changes trying to get the economy going again, it can be quite confusing as to how this may affect you and what this really means for the housing industry. This bill was passed on February 17th and is a $780 billion package which consists of the 10 major provisions below:
- Home Buyer Tax Credit–Increased to a maximum of $8,000 as a true credit, no payback.
- FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Loan Limits–Reinstated 2008 loan limits and has increased caps in select areas. Expires December 31, 2009
- Neighborhood Stabilization– $2 Billion in additional funding to states and localities to address problems that arise when neighborhoods are negatively impacted by foreclosures.
- Commercial Real Estate– Incentives for commercial property owners to seek green building and making existing property more energy efficient.
- Rural Housing Service– An additional $500 million for existing USDA Rural Housing programs.
- Low Income– Housing Grants-Benefits states in allowing them to trade in their portion of ‘09 low-income housing credits for Treasury grants.
- Tax Exempt Housing Bonds– Will not be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
- Energy Efficient Housing Tax Credits & Grants– Up to $6 billion for state and local governments for energy audits, retrofits and financial incentives. Through 2010 homeowners will be able to claim a 30% tax credit for purchases of new furnaces, windows and insulation!
- Transportation Investments– $46.7 billion to states and localities for capital investment for surface transportation projects including highways, bridges, transit, and rail projects.
- Broadband Deployment– $7.2 billion in grants to promote broadband deployment in unserved and underserved areas and for mapping the availability of broad band service in the US.
This link from our Realtor Association website really highlights all of these provisions in greater detail.

I came across this on NY Times website and thought it was a very interesting tool for checking out unemployment rates across the country. It also made me quite happy to live in NH where unemployment hasn’t sky rocketed. If you click on the picture below it will take you to their interactive map. You can zoom in on your state/county of choice.

This was definitely a short and busy month with lots of changes in the housing industry. A couple major housing plans/acts were signed and decided upon
- The Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan
- American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Needless to say this is a very intense time for the economy and it is going to be interesting to see how it all plays out. I’ll be doing a post soon about some of the new housing plans/acts/ bills and quick summaries of their key points.
